We have taken this opportunity to record and preserve the fascinating 60 year
history of Air New Zealand's FLIGHT ENGINEERS.....
In times past, any lengthy historical narrative about FLIGHT ENGINEERS would be constrained to whatever content that may be included in a printed book.
Due to cost considerations books will normally only contain a somewhat limited number of relevant photographs.
Unfortunately, printed books will always have restricted availability.
Also regrettably, once they are published books cannot be easily amended or updated with any new material.
By utilising this Blog/website format, it will permit us to include unlimited written text, untold numbers of photos and videos, plus handy website links to a wide variety of aviation related topics.
It will also ensure easy access to this information to the widest possible audience.

SAFER AIRCRAFT = FLIGHT ENGINEERS
We are a very fortunate few who were privileged to have been able to play our part in a long and significant era in the history of New Zealand aviation.
We are a very fortunate few who were privileged to have been able to play our part in a long and significant era in the history of New Zealand aviation.
This was that 60 year period in T.E.A.L. and Air New Zealand's history, when the invaluable safety factor of requiring the on board technical expertise and knowledge guaranteed by professional FLIGHT ENGINEERS ensured that they were a most essential and valued part of the crew complement for long-haul airliners.
We can be proud to have participated in this golden era, when Licensed FLIGHT ENGINEERS were legally required by the FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manuals, and were respected members of long-haul Flight Crews.
